Ever since T3 produced our Disney Plus review we've been huge fans of the streaming service, which has grown to be, in our opinion, the number one streaming service on the market today.
You've only got to take a look at the content delivered by the service in our Disney+ guide, as well as just how much fun Disney Plus Day was, to see that it is the obvious choice for many people.
There's such a huge range of content available, with Disney+ delivering thousands of movies, TV shows and documentaries from its Star, Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic content libraries - and that makes it easy to recommend to basically anyone.
And now Disney+ has just fired what can only be described as a barrage of warning shots at its rivals like Netflix by announcing a massive list of new content that is coming to the streaming service in 2022.
As you can see below, it looks really impressive, and this is just the stuff that Disney is ready to announce yet. There's going to be even more secret stuff coming, too. Here's a lot of new shows and movies to start looking forward, too, though.
